Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

This time Lin Xuan was in the limelight, but the one who was most unhappy was not Kidd or even Conan.

It was Jirokichi Suzuki.

The old man first spent a high price to buy the treasured "purple nails", and then took out an ad in the newspaper to provoke Kidd.

After the Phantom Thief Kid sent out the warning letter, they spent a large sum of money to rent several commercial buildings around the busy commercial streets and intersections, and cooperated with the Second Investigation Section to develop a capture plan.

Jirokichi has only one goal, arresting Kidd so that he can make headlines.

Major television stations and newspapers were indeed paying attention to this matter, but the reporters focused on the high school student who used reasoning to scare Kid away!

Some news reports at least mentioned Jirokichi, but most reports simply ignored him!

"I knew it! We can't let an eye-catching high school detective get involved."

"I spent a lot of money and wasted a lot of time, but I didn't get any benefit at all."

Despite paying Lin Xuan for his participation in the operation as agreed, Jirokichi never wanted to see the brat who stole his headlines again.

However, after receiving the phone call, Jiroji's face changed drastically. He realized that he had to ask Lin Xuan for help!

The sunlight had already shone through the curtains.

But it was the weekend after all and there was no case from the Metropolitan Police Department to disturb him, so even though he had woken up a long time ago, Lin Xuan still stayed in bed.

Until Jirokichi called.

"Brother Lin Xuan, I have something I would like to ask you for help."

The old man of the Suzuki family changed his usual condescending attitude and even used a pleading tone.

The day before yesterday, Daijiro Fumaru, the president of a construction company, was knocked to the ground by a truck while he was inspecting the next town alone.

An old lady who witnessed the accident said that the driver carried Fuwan onto the truck and said he would send him to the hospital for emergency treatment, but after that, President Fuwan disappeared.

The company's salesmen searched hospitals in several nearby towns but could not find any trace of the president.

Just an hour ago, the president's wife received a threatening phone call.

He used a voice changer to threaten his wife, saying that the president was dead and his body was in the other party's hands. If the wife still wanted her husband to be buried in peace, she had to prepare 10 million yen.

The Fumaru family happened to be in contact with Jirokichi, so the president's wife immediately contacted this idle old friend, hoping that he could help think of a solution.

"Please take the trouble to use reasoning to help find Daijiro."

In order to find out the whereabouts of his friend, Jirokichi, who values ​​face very much, has to bow to the high school detective.

Although he has connections in the police force such as Chaki Shintaro and Nakamori Ginzo, Lin Xuan's abilities in all aspects are obviously far superior to those of the police officer who has always been fooled by Kid.

[Kidnapping the president for ransom is not uncommon, and the body is worth 10 million? 】

Lin Xuan was intrigued, but he still had to negotiate the price first:

"I can help, but the commission fee..."

The old man on the other end of the phone immediately said:

"The Fumaru Company is financially strong. As long as you find Daijiro, the lady will never treat you unfairly."

Just like that, two hours later, Lin Xuan and Jiro Yoshi arrived at the villa of the missing president.

There were two familiar figures sitting on the sofa in the living room, Kogoro Mouri and Conan!

In order to retrieve her husband's body, Mrs. Fumaru not only asked Jirokichi for help, but also hired a famous detective.

"Ma'am, he is the famous high school detective Lin Xuan who scared Kid away recently."

Jirokichi continued:

"With the help of this little brother, we can quickly find the whereabouts of Daijiro."

Kogoro immediately frowned, took a deep breath and tried his best to stay calm.

[For the commission fee, I can't lose to the little devil]

Conan, who hadn't been slapped in the face for a week, had forgotten the pain and his wound had healed.

[Lin Xuan, I must beat you this time! ]

Lin Xuan himself was also eager to try.

[Luckily I didn’t refuse the weird old man’s request, the Grim Reaper is also here]

[As long as you can solve the case before Conan, you can unlock new abilities]

The skin on the face of the missing President Fumaru in the photo has begun to sag, and the few remaining hairs on his half-bald head have already turned gray.

The president's wife still has her charm, which is due to her good maintenance and the fact that there is a big age gap between her and her husband.

Usually in a childless couple with an older man and a younger wife, if something unexpected happens to one of them, the suspect is most likely the other.

But this matter seems to have nothing to do with the president's wife. The woman's eyes are full of worry:

"Money is not a problem. As long as I can get my husband back, I will accept any amount of money!"

The lady thought so in her heart.

Conan felt something was wrong:

"If that's the case, then why commission a detective to investigate?"

Mao Li, who was eager to earn the commission, immediately flicked Conan's forehead hard:

"Idiot! How does Madam know whether the other party will hand over the president? What if it's a scam call?"

"And if I catch the blackmailer in advance, I can help the Fumaru family save that money!"

The president's wife nodded frantically as if to cover up something, while Conan held his head with a look of grievance on his face.

Jirokichi already has a suspect:

"The blackmailer must be the driver who caused the accident the day before yesterday."

He clenched his fists and said viciously:

"Once the detective finds out his identity, I will not let him off!"

Just then, the phone in the living room rang.

The lady's breathing became rapid, and as soon as she picked up the receiver, an expression of fear and anxiety appeared on her face.

Lin Xuan instantly realized that it was a call from a blackmailer.

He stretched out his arm and pressed the hands-free button. Everyone in the living room, except his wife, kept quiet tacitly.

A strange and harsh voice came out of the phone after using a voice changer:

"Can't you hear me? I'm asking you if you're ready for 10 million."

The lady answered in a trembling voice:

"I've asked the lawyer to prepare it. It will be ready soon. They are all old banknotes with non-consecutive numbers."

The other party was obviously very satisfied:

"Very good. As long as you are willing to cooperate, I will return the body to you soon."

Suddenly, the blackmailer asked out of the blue:

"You're not going to notify the police or hire a detective to investigate me?"

The lady was so nervous that her palms were sweating. Not knowing how to answer, she looked at Maori in panic.

Kogoro was about to use lip language to tell the client how to deal with the situation, but the blackmailer hung up the phone.

Mrs. Fowan wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and asked Mao Li and Lin Xuan with lingering fear:

"Did that guy know that I asked the detective for help?"

Mao Li pretended to be deep, and Lin Xuan asked directly:

"Did anyone know you hired a detective?"

The lady replied:

"You were invited by Mr. Suzuki to help out on a whim. Not many people in your family should know about this."

"But the lawyers and the servants at home all knew that I was going to receive the Maori detective."

Conan frowned.

[With so many servants, even if there is a traitor, it would be difficult to identify him immediately.]

Just then, a middle-aged man wearing glasses came into the living room carrying a briefcase.

The man with glasses was surprised to see the strange high school student on the sofa.

The wife introduced the two people and found out that the middle-aged man with glasses was the president's trusted lawyer. In his briefcase was the 10 million yen in old banknotes that the blackmailer demanded.

At the same time, Lin Xuan also instantly confirmed the identity of the murderer.

[Isn't it enough to invite Kogoro Mori? They even invited the famous detective who scared Kid away! 】

[Ten million is not enough, we need to extort more from the president’s wife]
